BERLIN, Nov. IL The first whispers
Of the news from San Reno were unheard
in Berlin till toward evening. On the
bourse business was over. Some
evening pSpers had cOngratulatoTy
articles on the improving prospects OF
the Crown Prince. When semi official
reports were received that yesterdays
advices were false, these reports created
general cousterEstion. Nothing was
said about the chances Of recovery or the
condition OF patient, but the official ed-
mission was enough to cause the worst
fears in the public mind concerning the
Crown Princes fete. Later it became
known that Prof. Bergman hsd not lee
tured at the university, being engaged in
controversy on the expediency Of
PERFORMING ANOTHER OPERATION,
and that DTs. Schrieder and Krsuee were
IN favor Of sn immediate tracheotomy,
Thile D rs. Schetchcr and Mackenzie were
opposed to it. st last q decisive
examination was made yesterday morn
ing, which resulted In the doctors unaui-
mously declaring that radical cure
Was impossible, The only diffdrepce
Of opinion being as 10 how long
the Princess life could be prolonged
The Crown Prince heard part Of this dis
cuseion. He showed great seIf-posseseion
when told his recovery was very
uncertain and retired to meet the Prin-
cess. He &fterWard sent long dispatch
to the Emperor, then returned to the
doctors and said lie placed himself under
the doctors care. The PriGcess
WAS MORE AFFECTED
by the ORE Gdful news tnan mis- father had
been. DR.. MacKenzie's relation with the
Emperor will undoubtedly influence
tie family regarding an immediate
operation. The confirmation CT the state
ment that the Prince is stfiicted with can
Ger has revived interest in the methods
attempted for the extirpation OF the dis
ease.
The Nationsl Zeitung in an article says:
"Desplte the malignancy Of the can
Ger the lGrylx operation is now fully
successful. The most famous
German operstors are DR.. Hahn
Of the hospital at Berlin and
DIR. Bergman, who recently performed
FIVE operations, and in every case the pa
tienu recovered. Even the extirpation Of
the whole I.rynx has been effected with
complete success.
A gentleman named Paner has sent
letters TO the newspapers stating that
Professor Guesssnbaum Of Heidelberg
removed the whole Of his lSryn1 in 1856,
since when he has enjoyed excellent
health. Whatever is cone with the
Crown Prince the feeling in the highest
quarters is
AGAINST PURIFIER RELIANCE
upon DR.. Mackenzie and it viii be an IN
aveiling soufce of regret that
while the German specialists
diagnosed the cancer growth at the
outset Of the Princes iliness, the treat
msBt Of the case wss committed TO Dr..
Mackenzie. Professor To6old's written
opinion is now Of historic interest.
He declared thst the remoysl
OF the fist growth from the Crown
Pril ce's throat with the forceps by DR..
MecKenzje provoked vigorous recur-
renee OF the tumor. After the fourth
consultation on the Crown Princes case,
Dr. Tobold wrote:
"I bol& that the quite deBgerless pre-
cess Of LsEineo fiSsnTe is the fttsst mode
OF completely doing away With the
growth, enabling absolute exactness in
the excision of the diseased part and the
destruction of the seeds OF further
growth by csuterization."
The only eminent defender OF DE-. Mac
kenzie is Prof. Fertel.
Following is eemi-offic:al summary
OF the physicians opinion:
DIR. Schroeder holds that the nesr
growth below the vocal chords Is cancer
Gus tumor, advises complete cutting
ont OF the whole laryDX. he
Ssisims an immediate operation
would be very advantageous. Dr.. Schroe-
der is convinced that the life OF the
Crown Prince might be pre-
served by the total excisiOn of
the iarynx. Although the operation
is very dangerous and its effect uEcer-
tain it might be attended with good re-
